本出願は、米国特許法第119条(e)に基づいて、2014年6月5日出願の米国仮特許出願第62/008,395号(「Dressing With Fluid Acquisition And Distribution Characteristics」)の利益を主張し、これを、あらゆる点において本願明細書に援用する。
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is based on U.S. Patent No. 119 (e), filed on Jun. 5, 2014, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 008,395 ("Dressing With Fluid Acquisition And Distribution Characteristics"). )), Which is hereby incorporated by reference in all respects.
本開示は、概して、組織部位を治療しかつ流体を処理するための治療システムに関する。より詳細には、限定されるものではないが、本開示は、ドレッシング内の流体を横方向および垂直方向に分配できるドレッシングに関する。ドレッシングは、組織部位を治療するために、減圧を用いて、または用いずに、使用され得る。 The present disclosure relates generally to treatment systems for treating tissue sites and treating fluids. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, the present disclosure relates to a dressing capable of laterally and vertically distributing fluid within the dressing. Dressings can be used to treat a tissue site, with or without reduced pressure.
臨床試験および診療から、組織部位に近接して減圧を行うことによって、組織部位における新しい組織の成長を増強および加速することが示されている。この現象の適用例は多数あるが、創傷の治療に特に有利であることが分かっている。外傷、手術、または別の原因であるかなどの創傷の病因に関わらず、創傷を適切にケアすることが、結果に対し重要である。減圧による創傷の治療は、一般に「減圧創傷療法」と称し得るが、例えば「陰圧療法」、「陰圧閉鎖療法」、および「真空療法」を含む他の名称によっても知られている。減圧療法はいくつもの利点を提供し、それら利点には、上皮組織および皮下組織の移動、血流の改善、および創傷部位における組織の微小変形が含まれ得る。同時に、これらの利点により、肉芽組織の発生を増やし、および治癒にかかる時間を短縮することができる。 Clinical trials and practices have shown that applying reduced pressure in close proximity to a tissue site enhances and accelerates new tissue growth at the tissue site. Although there are many applications for this phenomenon, it has been found to be particularly advantageous for treating wounds. Regardless of the etiology of the wound, whether it is trauma, surgery, or another cause, proper care of the wound is important to the outcome. The treatment of wounds by reduced pressure may be generally referred to as "vacuum wound therapy", but is also known by other names including, for example, "negative pressure therapy", "negative pressure closure therapy", and "vacuum therapy". Decompression therapy offers a number of advantages, which may include epithelial and subcutaneous tissue migration, improved blood flow, and microdeformation of the tissue at the wound site. At the same time, these advantages can increase the occurrence of granulation tissue and reduce the time required for healing.
減圧療法の臨床的利点は広く知られているものの、減圧療法のコストおよび複雑さは、その適用の制限要因となり得る。減圧システム、その構成要素、およびプロセスの開発および操作が、製造者、ヘルスケア提供者、および患者に重大な課題を突き付け続けている。特に、組織部位に近接して位置決めされた吸収部材を含む減圧ドレッシングは、吸収材の損失または不十分な吸収を経験することがあり、これらは、組織部位に減圧療法を施すための減圧システムの能力に悪影響を及ぼす。 Although the clinical benefits of decompression therapy are widely known, the cost and complexity of decompression therapy can be limiting factors for its application. The development and operation of decompression systems, their components, and processes continue to pose significant challenges to manufacturers, healthcare providers, and patients. In particular, vacuum dressings that include an absorbent member positioned proximate to the tissue site may experience loss or poor absorption of the absorbent material, which may lead to reduced pressure systems for delivering vacuum therapy to the tissue site. Affects ability.
説明のための実施形態によれば、組織部位を治療するためのシステムは、マニホールド、シール部材、パウチ、および減圧源を含み得る。マニホールドは、組織部位に隣接して配置されるように適合され得る。シール部材は、組織部位とマニホールドとを覆って、組織部位において流体シールをもたらすように適合され得る。パウチは、マニホールドとシール部材との間に位置決めされるためのものとし得る。パウチは、親水性側面および疎水性側面を有する上流層と、親水性側面および疎水性側面を有する下流層とを含み得る。パウチはまた、上流層と下流層との間に囲まれた吸収部材を含み得る。上流層の親水性側面は、吸収部材に対面して位置決めされ、および下流層の親水性側面は、吸収部材に対面して位置決めされ得る。減圧源は、シール部材を通してマニホールドと流体連通し得る。 According to an illustrative embodiment, a system for treating a tissue site may include a manifold, a seal member, a pouch, and a vacuum source. The manifold can be adapted to be positioned adjacent a tissue site. The seal member may be adapted to cover the tissue site and the manifold to provide a fluid seal at the tissue site. The pouch may be for positioning between the manifold and the seal member. The pouch may include an upstream layer having a hydrophilic side and a hydrophobic side, and a downstream layer having a hydrophilic side and a hydrophobic side. The pouch may also include an absorbent member surrounded between the upstream and downstream layers. The hydrophilic side of the upstream layer may be positioned facing the absorbent member, and the hydrophilic side of the downstream layer may be positioned facing the absorbent member. A reduced pressure source may be in fluid communication with the manifold through the seal member.
別の説明のための実施形態によれば、組織部位から流体を収集するための装置は、上流層、下流層、および吸収部材を含み得る。上流層は、親水性側面および疎水性側面を有し、および下流層は、親水性側面および疎水性側面を有し得る。吸収部材は、上流層と下流層との間に位置決めされ得る。上流層の疎水性側面は、装置の外側部の一部分を形成し得るように、上流層の親水性側面は、吸収部材に隣接しかつそれに対面して位置決めされ得る。下流層の親水性側面は、吸収部材に隣接しかつそれに対面して位置決めされ得るため、下流層の疎水性側面は、装置の外側部の別の部分を形成し得る。装置の外側部に当たる流体は、吸収部材によって吸収される前に、装置の外側部に沿って横方向に分配され得る。 According to another illustrative embodiment, an apparatus for collecting fluid from a tissue site may include an upstream layer, a downstream layer, and an absorbent member. The upstream layer may have a hydrophilic side and a hydrophobic side, and the downstream layer may have a hydrophilic side and a hydrophobic side. An absorbent member may be positioned between the upstream and downstream layers. The hydrophilic side of the upstream layer may be positioned adjacent to and facing the absorbent member, such that the hydrophobic side of the upstream layer may form part of the outer portion of the device.

下流層128の親水性側面134は、吸収部材124の、上流層126の親水性側面132とは反対側の吸収部材124に隣接しかつそれに対面して配置され得る。下流層128の親水性側面134は、吸収部材124によって吸収されない過剰な流体を獲得するように構成され得る。下流層128の親水性側面134はまた、流体獲得面、流体獲得側面、親水性獲得面、または親水性獲得側面と呼ばれ得る。下流層128の親水性側面134は、繊維状面としてもよく、および下流層128に流体を引き入れるように構成され得る。下流層128の疎水性側面136は、吸収部材124と下流層128の親水性側面134とによって含まれなかった流体を分配するように構成され得る。疎水性側面136はまた、吸い上げ側面、吸い上げ面、分配面、分配側面、または流体分配面と呼ばれ得る。疎水性側面136は、滑らかな分配面とし得、流体を、下流層128を通って下流層128の列理に沿って動かし、流体を下流層128の全体にわたって分配するように構成されている。図3には別個の構成要素として示すが、親水性側面134および疎水性側面136は、下流層128の対向側面であり、および記載の例示的な実施形態の説明を助けるために別個の構成要素として示される。
The
流体が吸収されるとき、いくつかの吸収材は、吸収部材自体に流体が入る時点で飽和され得る。吸収材が、1つの領域において、他の領域の吸収材の飽和の前に飽和されると、吸収材は、流入点から、飽和されていない吸収材の複数の領域へと流体を動かす能力が、低下し得る。さらに、減圧が適用される場合、組織部位に分配された減圧の量が低下され、減圧を使用する治療的有効性を低下させ得る。吸水性および流体管理が上述の通り低下されると、より頻繁にドレッシングを交換する必要があり、それにより、コストが増大する。 As the fluid is absorbed, some absorbents may become saturated at the time the fluid enters the absorbent member itself. When the absorbent is saturated in one region before the saturation of the absorbent in the other region, the absorbent has the ability to move fluid from the point of inflow to multiple regions of the non-saturated absorbent. , Can drop. Further, if reduced pressure is applied, the amount of reduced pressure delivered to the tissue site may be reduced, reducing the therapeutic effectiveness of using reduced pressure. When water absorption and fluid management are reduced as described above, dressings need to be replaced more frequently, thereby increasing costs.
本明細書で開示するように、治療システム100は、これらのおよび他の欠点を克服し得る。例えば、組織部位106に対面する上流層126の疎水性側面130を、マニホールド110に隣接して配置することによって、疎水性側面130の疎水性により、流体を、疎水性側面130の列理(図示せず)に沿って横方向に、上流層126の幅に沿って動かし得る。このようにして、流体は、マニホールド110および組織部位106に対して平行に動き得る。流体の横方向の動きは、組織部位106から離れてドレープ108の方に向かう流体の垂直方向または下流方向への動きに対して、実質的に垂直とし得る。この吸い上げ作用は、組織部位106から引き出された流体を、流体が親水性側面132および吸収部材124に流入する前に、より幅広の領域にわたって横方向に広げ得る。流体が上流層126を通って疎水性側面130から吸収部材124の方へ動くにつれて、親水性側面132は流体によって濡れて、流体が吸収部材124に引き入れられるようにする。親水性または吸水性の勾配は、疎水性側面130から親水性側面132へと大きくなり、それゆえ、流体は、組織部位106から離れて吸収部材124の方へ、下流へ動く。ドレッシング102への減圧の適用は、さらに、流体の下流への動きを促進し得る。
As disclosed herein,
動作中、下流層128の厚さ140を厚くしかつ物質密度を高くすることによって、上流層126およびマニホールド110への減圧の分配を支援し得る。例示的な一実施形態では、上流層126は約80gsmの密度を有し、および下流層128は約150gsmの密度を有し得るため、下流層128対上流層126の相対的な厚さは、約1.875である。他の例示的な実施形態では、下流層128対上流層126の相対的な厚さは、他の適用例では、約1.5〜約3.0の範囲内に入り得る。下流層128による減圧の分配は、上流層126の疎水性側面130の吸い上げ作用を支援し得るため、組織部位106から引き出された流体は、ドレッシング102内でより均一に分配され得る。今度は、組織部位106から引き出された流体のより均一な分配は、吸収部材124をより効率的に使用できるようにし、ドレッシング102を取り換えるまでの時間を長くし、かつ同じ量の流体を吸収するために必要とされるドレッシングがより少数となるため、コストを削減し得る。
In operation, increasing the
パウチ112の最上の側面に疎水性側面136を備えるように下流層128を構成することによって、ドレッシング102は、吸収部材124が1つの領域において飽和されるかまたはゲルで遮断されると、吸収部材124から自由な流体を獲得し得る。その後、ドレッシング102は、ドレッシング102の最上部にわたって流体を吸い上げて再分配して、流体の吸い上げがパウチ112の両側で発生するようにする。例えば、吸収材124の一領域が飽和されると、下流層128の親水性側面134は、吸収材124から親水性側面134の隣接部分へ過剰な流体を引き出しかつ獲得し得る。その後、この過剰な流体は、下流層128の疎水性側面136へ移動し得る。疎水性側面136の疎水性は、流体を、疎水性側面136の列理(図示せず)に沿って横方向に、下流層128の幅に沿って動かし得る。流体が、下流層128の下部の親水性側面134および吸収部材124の飽和していない個所に到達すると、流体は、疎水性側面136の外面から親水性側面134および吸収部材124まで下方へ引き戻され得る。疎水性側面136から親水性側面134へ、およびさらに吸収部材124へと親水性の勾配が大きくなるため、流体は、吸収部材124の方へ、現在は飽和されていない吸収部材124の領域まで、上流へ引き戻される。これは、パウチ112での最適な流体の分配および吸収をもたらし、およびさらに、吸収材124の早すぎる飽和またはゲルによる遮断を防止し得る。
By configuring the
本明細書で説明されているように、上流層126および下流層128の位置決めは、上流層126および下流層128の列理を、吸収部材124の効率的な使用を高めるように方向を合わせ得る。吸い上げ機能をもたらす材料を使用することによって、利用可能な吸収材の効率的な使用が改善され得る。
As described herein, the positioning of the
流体を吸い上げかつ減圧を多岐に分岐する層を使用することによって、利用可能な吸収材の制御式の使用を可能にする。上述のように配置された層は、流体がパウチの吸収部材へより均一に分配されるように減圧を分配しており、その結果、流体を分配するためにより多くの流体経路が使用されるゆえに、吸収部材の吸収材を飽和するのに必要な合計時間を長くし得る。親水性が異なる構造体を備えるパウチを形成するために層を使用することによって、パウチの吸収部材に流入する流体をより良好に制御できるようにする。被膜重量(coatweights)が異なる層を使用することによって、パウチの特性を、技術的に良好かつコスト効果的な解決法における適用例に適合させることができる。開示した解決法は、追加的な吸収材を必要とすることなく、容量に達成する前に、吸収レベルを大きくし得る。 The use of a layer that wicks fluid and diverges the reduced pressure allows for the controlled use of available absorbers. The layers arranged as described above distribute the reduced pressure so that the fluid is more evenly distributed to the absorbent member of the pouch, so that more fluid paths are used to distribute the fluid. The total time required to saturate the absorber of the absorber may be increased. The use of layers to form a pouch with structures of different hydrophilicity allows for better control of the fluid flowing into the absorbent member of the pouch. By using layers with different coatweights, the properties of the pouch can be adapted to applications in technically good and cost-effective solutions. The disclosed solution can increase the level of absorption before achieving capacity without the need for additional absorbents.
